Transition Networks TN-SFP-LX8 Sfp Transceiver 1.25G Lx

Product Description

The TRANSITION NETWORKS TN-SFP-LX8 is a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) fiber optic transceiver rated for 1.25 gigabit operation using LX (long-wavelength) signaling over single-mode fiber. SFP transceivers are hot-swappable modules that slot into SFP-capable switch ports, media converters, and network interface cards. The TN-SFP-LX8 is designed for enterprise and commercial network infrastructure where long-distance fiber links are required. Network technicians and systems integrators handle installation in structured cabling environments and enterprise LAN or WAN deployments.

The TN-SFP-LX8 is suited for enterprise network environments where single-mode fiber runs are in use between switches, routers, or media converters. Typical applications include backbone links in commercial buildings, campus networks, and data center uplinks where LX wavelength and 1.25 Gbps throughput meet the bandwidth requirements. This transceiver is sold as a single unit and is appropriate for both new installations and replacement of failed SFP modules in existing fiber infrastructure.

Key Features

• 1.25 Gbps data rate supports standard Gigabit Ethernet over fiber
• LX long-wavelength optics designed for single-mode fiber links
• SFP form factor is hot-swappable and compatible with standard SFP slots
• Compact module design fits enterprise switches, media converters, and NICs
• Sold individually for targeted replacement or single-port upgrades

Compatibility

Designed as an SFP-standard replacement transceiver for use in enterprise switches, media converters, and other network equipment with standard SFP slots supporting 1.25 Gbps LX single-mode fiber operation.

Installation Notes

SFP transceivers are installed by network technicians familiar with fiber optic handling and enterprise switching equipment. Power down or use the hot-swap procedure supported by the host device before inserting or removing the module. Clean fiber connectors with appropriate fiber cleaning tools before mating to avoid signal loss or damage. Follow TIA-568 and applicable structured cabling standards for fiber termination and bend-radius requirements.
